Importance of Innerrancy to Moderate Christians

so, in other words, you're saying you're putting your faith in those early believers' decision instead of God.

The same basis you have for filtering out any information that's fed to you in your everyday life, i.e. you assess its plausibility based on experience and evidence.example:your arrive for work late one day and you claim it was because of terrible traffic on the road. Does your boss believe you ? probably yes.your arrive for work late one day and you claim it was because you were abducted by aliens. Does your boss believe you ? highly unlikely.Now, would you expect your boss to believe every single story you tell him ? I don't think so. Similarly, you wouldn't expect him to reject off-hand everything you tell him either. You'd expect your boss to assess and judge the credibility of what you tell him on an individual basis, wouldn't you?why then do you expect everyone else to judge the bible on an absolute basis, as either all true or all false ?

?? just because you're unable to discern other people's motivation doesn't mean that you can't decide for your self what's good or bad, right or wrong.you have no idea why the Ecumenical Councils decided what they decided. They might have been guided by the Holy Spirit, they might have been guided by the Devil himself, although you'd like to think the former.If you unquestionably believe their decision to be the right one then you're putting your faith in those men and your whole life therafter will be based on what those men decided is good for you, not what God points out to you through his direct and unaltered creation.

you don't trust them because you think they're wrong or because they are constantly disrupting the traditional Bible' ? Edited by Legend, : misquote

"In life, you have to face that some days you'll be the pigeon and some days you'll be the statue."

so, in your view, if one goes against the traditional Bible they're wrong .Your standard of truth is the traditional Bible, as canonised during the Ecumenical Councils, by the early church fathers.I have to maintain then that you are putting your faith in those men who canonised the Bible, putting their judgement above everything else, including God's direct and unaltered Creation and also his unique gift of critical thinking.

"In life, you have to face that some days you'll be the pigeon and some days you'll be the statue."

fair enough, but still the direct work of men not God. I strongly suspect that to you the definition of 'non-Holy-Spirit-inspired critical thinking' is any thinking that dosn't agree with you or the Canonical Bible. Mute creation?! I don't think so. Just looking at a tree trunk can tell you dozens of things , from its age to climatic variations throughout the years.Words have different meanings and interpretations, why do you think there are thousands of Christian denominations all based on the Bible but believing different things ?Physical laws, on the other hand, are applied and understood the same by all people at all times at all places on earth.IF only the same could be said of the Bible!if God chose the Bible to convey his message then he either got it very wrong or doesn't care at all about everyone understanding his message.

"In life, you have to face that some days you'll be the pigeon and some days you'll be the statue."

that's just the tip of the iceberg. We're talking major concepts here, like "how do we get saved?" or "how many Gods are there?" or "was Jesus man or God or both?" There are conflicting views on this amongst groups who all call themselves Christian and consider the Bible as their holy book.Other than that, the Bible's meaning is universally the same, according to Faith.
